“I could see two punches thrown to Joe’s head -- well, one punch and one open slap, which . . . if you’re going to go to the face, come with some knuckles,” Harbaugh said. “I think that young man works very hard on being a tough guy. He’ll have some repairing to do to his image after the slap.”

The 49ers had two players fined in the game. Ahmad Brooks was fined $12,750 for a roughing-the-passer penalty on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. And wide receiver Anquan Boldin was fined $7,875 for a hit at the sideline on Green Bay’s Jarrett Bush at the end of a play on which Kaepernick gained 15 yards on a scramble in the third quarter.

“I have zero reaction to the fines,” Harbaugh said on Friday. “At the direction of the league, I have nothing to say about that.”
